1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
GX4816 adds 48 local mic/line inputs and 16 balanced line outputs to an Allen & Heath SQ or dLive digital mixing system. It is built for larger productions that need more sources and more destinations without moving I/O control away from the mixer. Connect it by Ethernet and it configures automatically, with its I/O appearing on the mixer surface. The 2U rackmount chassis, redundant power supplies, and steel front panel suit touring and permanent-installation work.

- Large productions that need 48 extra local mic or line inputs.
- Sending additional mixes, groups, or AUXes to monitors, broadcast, recording, and other destinations.
